 Much hardware and software testing later: The failure occurs under any
 heavy I/O load, not just ZFS. In addition, it only fails when all
 three DIMM slots are filled. None of the individual slots or DIMMs are
 faulty, and the BIOS's memory test passes even with all three slots
 filled. Currently, the machine is operating with 2 slots filled at a
 reduced RAM capacity of 1GB.
 Signs point to a hardware problem, but I want to think it's a fixable
 software bug because otherwise I'm sitting on a 512MB PC133 DIMM I
 can't use. :/
